Giant danio color

[mitchv10]

My giant danios fins are starting to turn orange. is this normal? if not what can it be?

I think it is possible, not sure...

I cant find any info about color change as they mature, but cant find any thing. is there a disease that can cause this?

How orange are we talking about? If there is just a hint of orange/yellow than that's natural color I believe.

When I used to have giant danios in my goldfish tank I noticed they had a *slight* hint of orange around their fin area.

Feeding foods like krill or spirulina could bring out the color a bit more, I believe.

real orange. this is a verrrrry poor picture they are to fast to photograph with a phone. This one is the least orange of the ones that changed

Are they eating fine?

If they are acting normal than possibly you got lucky with a nice colored danio...or unlucky because it was injected with hormones or something...who knows?

I have 6 of them and some are starting to change a little bit.

Check out the pictures on this site for orange coloration:

Unless there is some other reason to suspect they are sick, you just have some that have some really nice coloration.
